[QUOTE="Carl, post: 580762, member: 4652"] Sturdy, Where do you get those ultra fine mesh sanding pads? I don't know why it's true that my saliva seems to congeal on the stems of my pipes, and I have a hard time getting it off and polishing them. I use very fine ladies' nail polishing sticks to get most of the crud off and to try to remove the worst of the pits on my stems. That works to a degree, but I'm usually left with a brown stem near the button. I'm not sure whether that's a result of digging too far into the vulcanite or why it happens. I have ordered a small bottle of Sturdy, Where did you get your Micro mesh pads? I would like to try them to finish polishing my vulcanite stems. I use ladies' fine nail polishers to get them basically polished, but they seem to leave a layer of brown residue at the end. Maybe I'm digging into the rubber too much? In any case, I've ordered a small bottle of obsidian oil to try to blacken them up, maybe that will help. Do let me know about those pads, please. [/QUOTE]
